The American (Penguin Classics)
Penguin USA. 12/01/1981. Reprint. In THE AMERICAN, a brash and wealthy American named Christopher Newman, a veteran of the Civil War, goes to Paris in search of an aristocratic wife. He falls in love with the widowed Claire de Cintré (née Bellegarde), whose ruthless, snobbish mother and older brother refuse to allow them to marry. Another family member tells Newman a family secret that he can use to force the Bellegardes to agree to the marriage, but he is too upright to do so. This early novel (1877) is one of Henry James's more accessible works, and his detailed, analytical, and always engaging view of American innocence as if succumbs to the jaded and cynical sophistication of the Old World makes for a highly enjoyable story.

The Ambassadors (Penguin Classics)
Penguin USA. 03/01/1987. Reprint. Lambert Strether is dispatched to Paris by the widowed Mrs. Newsome--his fiancée--to bring back her son Chadwick. It is rumored that Chad has fallen under the spell of a Frenchwoman of dubious reputation, and his mother wants him to return to take over the running of the Newsome Mills, in Massachusetts. Once in Paris, Strether undergoes a personality change. Not only does he advise Chad to remain there with his lover--the charming Mme. de Vionnet--but he comes perilously close to succumbing to the city's magic himself. The ending is both unexpected and deeply ironic; Strether's situation illustrates James's lifelong preoccupation with the differences in culture, morality, and the concept of the good life in a city like Paris vs. a New England mill town. It is, of course, no secret where the author's sympathies lie. As the aging Strether expresses it in a word of advice to a younger character: "Live all you can....Don't miss things out of stupidity. Live!" James considered this novel to be his masterpiece, and--despite its extreme length, slowness, and quiet absence of action or real suspense--critical opinion generally agrees with him.

The Portrait of a Lady Screenplay
Penguin USA. 11/01/1996. 161 pgs. "The mere slim shade of an intelligent but presumptuous girl...a certain young woman affronting her destiny" is how Henry James describes his first perception of Isabel Archer, who grew into one of his most magnificent heroines. An American heiress newly arrived in Europe, Isabel does not look to a man to furnish her with her destiny; instead she desires, with grace and courage, to find it herself. Two eligible suitors approach her and are refused. She then becomes utterly captivated by the languid charms of Gilbert Osmond. To him, she represents a superior prize worth at least 70 thousand pounds; through him, she faces a tragic choice. The greatest of the novels of James's early period, PORTRAIT OF A LADY was deeply influenced by both Turgenev and George Eliot. Originally published at $10.95 You save 91% off the cover price!

The Golden Bowl
Penguin USA. 04/01/1985. Reissue. 591 pgs. Possibly James's most complex and difficult work, THE GOLDEN BOWL concerns four characters: the American art connoisseur Adam Verver, his daughter Maggie, Maggie's old school friend Charlotte Stant, and Charlotte's ex-suitor Prince Amerigo. The fabulously wealthy Ververs encounter the prince on their European tour, and he and Maggie fall in love and are married. When Charlotte comes to visit, Adam Verver asks her to marry him. The two couples settle in London, where Maggie begins to suspect the previous liaison between her husband and her friend. Desperately in love with the prince and unable to bear the presence of his old lover, Maggie persuades her father to take Charlotte back to America to live, without revealing to him what she knows. Impressed by Maggie's handling of the delicate situation, the prince falls truly in love with her. A golden bowl found in a Bloomsbury antique shop, and later smashed to pieces, serves as the emblem for the complicated web of love and betrayal James deals with in this novel.

Daisy Miller (Penguin Classics)
Penguin USA. 03/01/1988. Reissue. 126 pgs. DAISY MILLER is often thought of as the quintessential James novel: the story of the innocent abroad who is corrupted by contact with an older, more sophisticated society. Daisy, a delightfully uninhibited young American, scandalizes the European community in which she is a visitor with her high spirits and disregard of ancient conventions. After an innocent but unwise tryst with an Italian admirer to see the Colosseum in Rome by moonlight, Daisy contracts malaria and dies. The pathos of her death is compounded by the fact that another admirer, Winterbourne, is never entirely convinced that Daisy is merely the frank, innocent girl she seems.

Don Quixote de la Mancha (Oxford World's Classics) (Qty: 35)
Oxford Univ Pr. 08/01/1998. 1087 pgs. Perhaps the greatest--and certainly the most famous--novel ever written in Spanish, DON QUIXOTE is the classic picaresque tale of a knight-errant living in a world which has no use for him. Written as a history, it gives an account of the life of Don Quixote of la Mancha, a deluded 17th-century Spaniard who believes himself to be a medieval knight and attempts to win renown through acts of chivalry that are invariably disastrous or absurd. One of the earliest examples of the novel form, it remains to this day among the most influential and best-loved works of fiction in any language.

The Loved One
Little Brown & Co. 09/01/1999. In Waugh's satire of American life, Barlow, the English protagonist, is a young man who comes to Hollywood to stay with the screenwriter Francis Hinsley, his uncle. Shortly after Barlow's arrival, Hinsley is fired from his position and hangs himself. While making arrangements for the burial, Barlow falls in love with Aimee Thanatogenes, one of the embalmers at the funeral home. Barlow courts Aimee by sending her plagiarized poems about death, and he takes a job at a nearby pet cemetery in order to raise enough money to get married. However, Aimee's boss, Mr. Joyboy, is also in love with her and concocts a plan to get Barlow out of the way. One of the most outrageous black comedies ever written, "The Loved One" is probably the most biting of all Waugh's satirical works. Originally published at $13.95 You save 86% off the cover price!
